Welcome HOME, dear puppeteer.

This world has been waiting some time for your arrival. The tables
of balance has been turned, and the fate of the world trusted
into a familiar face. The guardian of zone 0 himself, The Judge. Your job is to lead him on a new journey, masterful puppeteer.

This world is wrapped in an enigma, a shroud of confusion overlapped the
once peaceful zones. The true guardian of zone 0 himself has the very marrow
of his bones rattled with the feelings of Deja Vu. The day that he would become the marionette of the new world is coming, and upon your very arrival the world will undergo otherworldly changes.

Just what is going on in this world? Why has the switch been reset? Has The Judge forgotten everything that happened? Has the world been reversed to a state of pristine ignorance? Only you can find out, fateful puppeteer. You will travel the world, and meet the guardians you know so well. However, you will face enemies and foes unlike anything you've imagined. New allies will join your side, and new personalities will be explored. New places will be visited, a zone that defies the logic and reason of the world you know. Puzzles that expand beyond the game and into our world. You will become one with your puppet, and in your combined state you will bring the land to the closure it deserves. The fate, and the direction of that closure however, is up to the decisions you make. Choose wisely my friend, its up to you to save their HOME.

HOME is a non-canonical fangame created with the permission of Mortis Ghosts, the creator of OFF - the game from which HOME was inspired. You take control of The Judge in this project, and see the world through his eyes.



New characters and enemies are introduced in this story, with a combat system that's more threatening and challenging than OFF's style. HOME makes uses of the elements and status effect system and stretches is as far as possible. It's recommended you play Mortis Ghosts "OFF" before you touch this project, as this game and its entirety is connected and continued after OFF. Playing HOME without first playing OFF will not only lead to spoilers but will lead you to a path of confusion and detachment from the entire world.

The game features custom sprites, music, icons, sound effects, and battle animations. It uses as much fresh resources where and whenever possible.

In Memoriam

It is incredibly sad to have to break this news to those who may not know of it as yet, but the creator of this game, TheJudge, passed away recently.

As such we, the staff of RMN, are posting this blog informing all who knew him and enjoyed his games (both in the past and the future) of this tragedy.

Too soon we have lost another comrade to that final rest. May you remain forever in our hearts, Judge.


Rest in Peace

After HOME is finished me and LightingWolf (lead composer) will be putting together an OST upload that will include remixes, and songs that didn't make it in the game. Along with that, a text document that will be like that soundtrack list.
Ok, makes sense you would do it when it's done. Just might I ask if it will include all the songs in the files along with the extra ones or include just some of them like the original OFF did?

All of them will be in the OST download. Only songs used in HOME itself will be in the HOME game download itself.
Nice job getting featured on the main page!

Thanks ; o;
I'd be curious to hear OFF's original creator's opinion of this game. Do you know if he's aware of this game or has any thoughts on it so far?

Mortis Ghost can easily be found on Tumblr.

I talk to him all the time, he's a really cool and relaxed dude.
He himself has said he doesn't care for fangames, but at the same time is honored someone would want to create something in its likeness. A mixed feeling I guess. He doesn't hate them or mind them, but he wouldn't play any fangame on his own. If you don't want to take my word for it, feel free to ask him yourself. He's not uptight or haughty, and rather enjoys talking to people.

Here's a handy link :3
By the way, I made a fully functional wrapper for mac using the wrapper for OFF for mac as a base so I could run it on my mac laptop and not just my desktop, and I am in case anyone wants to run this on mac.

It's very possible to run any RPG Maker using Wine Emulation on a mac. However, if your method works then it could be used as an alternative method for those who have issues with Wine.

I would like to try your wrapper please, I have no idea what I'm doing with Wine and I really want to be able to play this game.
(Double post and I can't figure out how to delete it so just ignore this one)

I'll post the link as soon as it finishes uploading. There doesn't seem to be any glitches or errors aside from having OFF's icon rather than a unique one because I was being to lazy to set one.

EDIT2: This link is for an old version. The newest version's wrapper has been posted on page 4.
I follow you on tumblr. Much love for this game! Thank you.

<3 thanks.
I wanted to say first off, that I'm really enjoying the game so far, and I'm seriously looking forward to the rest of it. (I particularly enjoy the confrontations with the Batter because of how they contrast the world in your game as opposed to the original.)

I am having an issue with Zone 3 - Area 3 though. After falling into the sugar stack I can't seem to find a way out or forward. If someone would care to let me know/hint to me how to proceed, it would be much appreciated.

Oh my godness! I mean Queen. I long ago wanted a spin-off and now here it is. Thank you my dear friend. I'll spend the night to play through this demo. By the by, take your time to complete this surely awesome game. Ha ha ha.

the tunnel to the left, it may look like the sugar is blocking your path but you can move one tile downwards.
I really enjoy this game. Much more than I thought I'll :D By the by, Pablo. Wouldn't you like to allow me in the game to sell some specter repler ingame? Because I(actually you, the Judge) just leveled up 5 levels at the meat rivers and can't find the way to Dedan in that labyrinth >.<"

If there was an item that reduced or removed enemy encounters, like in the final fantasy series, I would have introduced it. Sadly such a programmed item only exists in RPG Maker XP.

Ah. Doesn't really matter. I just said.
